The game also has online functionality, which allows players to compare their times/scores in certain events. The game allows for two-player co-op, allowing a second character to use a single Joy-Con to control Cappy independently from Mario.
Mario can also dress in different costumes, several being based from the previous Mario games. Unique to this game, Mario is able to throw Cappy onto certain enemies and objects, allowing Mario to take control of them. The game has sandbox-like elements and revolves around Mario exploring Earth-based settings, similar to Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario 64 DS with his new partner Cappy.
It is the eighteenth title in the Super Mario series and the sixth 3D Mario title on a home console after Super Mario 3D World. Super Mario Odyssey is a platforming game for the Nintendo Switch released on October 27, 2017.
